We all were really excited to see all of them. We hugged them and warmly welcomed them almost forgetting about Nishi and Kabir. We all went inside our home chatting, laughing, chuckling and giggling.

" By the way don't mind me asking , who are these two?" Aditi asked pointing towards Nishi and Kabir

" Oh, I just forgot to introduce them to you " I said

"We all did Sanya" Dhruv said teasing me

" Ok, we all forgot that, you want to introduce them?" I asked with sarcasm,

" I want to" Sambhav said raising his hand and came in the centre of the room

" Attention everyone, these are our college friends Kabir and Nishi, and these are our school friends, Aditi, Urvi, Shruti and Abhinav"

" Just school friends, Sambhav?" Abhinav said in a taunting way to Sambhav

"Ok , sorry Abhinav, they are our closest friends, the best group we have ever seen, ok Abhinav?" Sambhav replied sarcastically.

" You all seem to be really close from school" Kabir said surprisingly

" We were the best of friends, man" Urvi said giving me a side hug.

" We were not , we still are" Shruti said giving me a side hug from other side.

" Ok, we got you are all best friends" Nishi said, yawning with eyes filled sleep.

" I am going to sleep, Shaurya since you are not engaged in the conversation right now, so can you show me the room I can sleep in?" she said turning toward Shaurya.

But before Shaurya could say anything, his over possessive girlfriend (actually ex-girlfriend) Aditi said

"Actually I had to have a conversation with Shaurya, so sorry Nishi" taking Shaurya to a corner.

" Maybe she had to talk about something important, let me show you your room" I said to cover up for Aditi walking towards Nishi and holding here and taking her to the room.

Aditi took me to a side with giving a rude reply to Nishi which I didn't particularly like.

"You were taking that Nishi to room" Aditi said dragging me near window and shouting but still quite enough to not be heard by anyone.

"I was showing her room to take rest because she was tired" I replied

"Whatever, I hope you remember we were just on a break for 11th-12th to focus on our careers and now since we are in good colleges we are back together, you know I don't like you living with Sanya in same house anyways , and now taking that Nishi to room, you are unbelievable Shaurya" she said looking out of the window

"I am unbelievable? You are unbelievable Aditi" I said furiously where I could see that Sanya dropped Nishi to a room and covered up for Aditi's miserable behaviour like maybe she is insecure or possessive or what so ever this is no way to treat anyone.

Like even I was jealous of Dhruv but I didn't treat him like that ( just saying).

"Shaurya I am not here to fight with you" she replied

" The way you are acting doesn't show that" I said showing her my disagreement

" I knew it, you were always behind Sanya and of course why not now since she lives with you why would you want to be with me?" she said furiously, her jealousy could be clearly seen on her face.

"Why are you dragging Sanya into all this, I wanted a break to work on myself and I am not interested in any kind of relationship any time soon" I said squeezing my hand into fist

"Oh really, is that all you want to say?" she replied trying to make a eye contact when I was avoiding it.

I really didn't want this conversation at all, so I just took my phone placed on the stool nearby and walked to the hall took keys of the car and left. I was quick enough to go before Aditi could stop she was calling my name and even others saw this reaction but I didn't stop and I was so upset that I lost my sense of wrong and right and just went to a bar to grab in some alcohol to calm my mind.

I don't know what conversation Aditi and Shaurya were having but definitely know both of them to interpret what it would have been, with Aditi being the most insecure here and her rude replies to Nishi and Shaurya and I living in the same house, I could see it coming , Shaurya was a person who always wanted space for himself and it could be clearly seen that Aditi had removed the line between care and concern and over possessiveness and jealousy. And walking away from conversations is what Shaurya does every single time. Everyone was tensed about him here and he didn't care to talk to anyone like he could have talked to Dhruv, Kabir, Sambhav, Abhinav anyone about it. Aditi wanted to go behind him but Dhruv stopped her

" let him be , if he wants to be alone, let him have his alone time" Dhruv said

"But what if he does something to himself" Aditi said showing concern (or maybe still not trusting him)

" Aditi , he is sensible and mature he would not do any such thing" I went to Aditi and grabbed her shoulder to calm her down.

" I think we all should go to sleep and just don't talk about it right now" Urvi said

" Yes, Sanya just take Aditi to your room, she needs rest" Shruti added

" Sambhav , I need to talk to Dhruv about something, can you just show all of them their rooms?" I said because I didn't want anymore misunderstandings so just wanted to clear all this tonight itself.

"Sure" Sambhav said taking everyone towards the rooms.

" What happened Sanya , everything alright?" Dhruv said as everyone left

" Everything is fine, it's just that ..." I paused because there was no good way nor any good time to have this conversation

"I am here for you Sanya, tell me what it is?" Dhruv said placing a hand on my shoulder

" Listen, I know you understand me more than Aditi does to Shaurya, but I don't want to hurt you so just telling you right now itself, I am not interested in anyone right now, I just don't want any relationship right now" I said keeping myself as calm as possible

" Sanya" he said giving me that cute innocent look and then a hug

" I know all this , don't worry, I understand and I am alright and I know Aditi will be alright soon, everything and everyone will be alright" he said with his hands around my shoulders and mine around his ribs. My head rested on his chest. I sighed.

"You just take care of yourself" he said kissing my hair not knowing I was more tensed about Shaurya right now than Aditi, like I don't know why but I was, maybe because I knew he was really sensitive and now unlucky in love. So, I nodded to Dhruv and both of us went to our rooms, when I went to bed just then I received a call.

What was this call about? Was it from Shaurya? Was it from Dhruv? Was it from Aditi? Who called her this late at night? What will it bring into their lives?
